Summary

The Annual Mortality report presents numbers of deaths occurring in calendar year 2017, by age and sex, and by causes of death. It also includes age-standardised mortality rates (ASMRs) to enable comparisons across time and between jurisdictions. 

In 2017:
  • there were 810 Jersey residents recorded as having died, comprising 420 deaths of males and 380 deaths of females
  • the crude mortality rate was 7.6 deaths per 1,000 population, and has been falling over time
  • the age-standardised mortality rate (ASMR) for Jersey was 880, significantly lower than the overall ASMR for England (959)
  • the average (mean) age at death for Jersey residents was 79 years; an increase of 12 years since 1960 (67 years)
  • cancer remained the most frequent cause of death, accounting for almost one in three (30%) of all deaths
